TWU Organization Readiness Questionnaire
Methodology
The Organization Readiness Questionnaire is made up of two sections. Section
one asks seven open-ended questions developed by the DEIC based on the
MCOD framework and section two includes five multiple choice questions and
three open-ended follow-up questions adapted from various diversity surveys
designed to be answered by leaders of the organization.
42.5 %
Response rate
Targeted participants included faculty with the role of associate dean or higher
and staff with the role of assistant vice-president or higher, across all three
TWU campuses. Out of 40 potential participants, 17 responded resulting in a
42.5% response rate.
The answers to open-ended questions were analyzed using the reflexive
thematic method using Nvivo software. The analysis produced multiple themes
overall suggesting that TWU’s leaders view its policy, practices, representation
of employees, available resources, and environment as important issues to
examine further. Here is a link to a copy of the thematic analysis results. Raw
data is available upon written request.
